Title:
USB memory
Hello, maybe I can add some more info.
I have KDE 4.9.5 on Kubuntu 12.10 (kernel 3.5.0-25-generic) and the light
remains on if I safely remove my Dikom USB-
If I type eject it by terminal command, it's umounted and the light turns off
after been umounted.
This also happened with prevoius KDE
Hello. Just noting that this is still happening on Karmic (see my older post
#24 from hardy).
No problems as long as you eject the device from within KDE.
FWIW - it also happens on a relatively new Macbook.

I can confirm this bug in another Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy. The leds never are
powered off, while in Windows computers it does. It would be very
helpful for users to get the LED powered off, after ejecting the memory.

obviously, a hardware component of the USB memory devices is not
correctly addressed, regardless whether the effects of this are more
psychological or performance related.

Windows now, for fear that this too will break down.

I can also confirm this with the Sandisk Cruzer Micro 2.0GB. On Windows
XP the light goes off when using the Windows Safely Disconnect dialog or
the built in Sandisk software to disconnect.
On Ubuntu 8.04. The disk can be easily used/mounted/unmounted/ejected,
but the light ALWAYS stays on.
While this so far hasn't been a data-loss issue, It may become one,
since it doesn't only apply to USB flash drives, but also USB powered
laptop harddrive enclosures.
When unmounting my specific hard drive (WesternDigital Elements 250GB),
as well as the light remaining on, the HDD platters
Hey, have you checked out bug #58706 ? It suggests using eject (from the
command line) instead of unmount. Can you try that, then mark this as a
duplicate, if eject works to turn off the LED?

Michael,
I tried 'eject' instead of 'umount', but the USB light stays on. This is
on a Sandisk Cruzer, OS is Hardy.

Hi,
I guess it is not a bug, it is a regular behavior. Mount/umount is a
filesystem relative tool, it has no relationship with hardware
management. So, the problem with data loss is irrevelant.
I think this issue must be send to the « Desktop team », to decide if we
have to add some « Disconnect
no particular idea.
I think, yes, to KERNEL. the people there will have the clue what 2 do
with it.
thnx

I am no expert, but my guess would be that this is relevant to both the
'mount' package and/or the underlying kernel calls that mount uses.
Mount might be better in that it is more specific than 'kernel', and
hopefully the relevant people there will know quickly if this is a
problem with mount or
Any idea to what package we should move it to? kernel?

Actually, I think this should be put to the Ubuntu team, instead of the
Kubuntu team.
I believe the issue is that in Windows, the USB port is powered down.
While in Kubuntu, the disk is only unmounted. The device is not powered
down. This means that there is electricity going to the other device.
I agree, this is a general issue, not Kubuntu-specific. I think the bug
should be moved to be relevant to Ubuntu.

I can also confirm this bug, on both Ubuntu and Xubuntu. So this bug
appears to be a general issue, not specific to Kubuntu. The symptom is,
as with all others, that the light on USB drives stays on after
unmounting.
There seems to be no data loss, the issue is only 'aesthetic'. However,

I have the same issue on standard Ubuntu. it is that after unmounting the PQI
and Sandisk sticks keep their LED on on Linux while both do switch off the
light on WIndows. The Swissbit stick switches the LED off on both OS.
As others already mentioned, there is no performance problem or data
So, any more information I can provide that you'd consider useful?
Is this dependent on the hardware (USB controller, memory stick), do you
want the details? Do your memory sticks get un-lighted in linux?
Want me to go and buy a new memory stick to test with? ;-) (Seriously,
wouldn't help, since
No, this is definetly confirmed from me on different sticks.
Honestly, i have also had several people asking me why the light dosen't shut
off like in Windows and really doubting if it is secure to unplug it that way.

'Safely remove' unmounts the device, so the light on the usb-storage
device means nothing. Umount syncs all cached data to the device, so it
can be removed any time, after umount has finished.
I have never had an issue with data loss after umounting a device (while

- I know to wait (and ensure) that the device has been properly unmounted.
Judging, however, by the report I referenced, and its duplicates, many -
understandably, IMO - don't.
- I also know that the light means nothing, technically speaking.
Psychologically speaking, it would be
Hi there,
to reproduce the data loss simply copy on a pendrive 200-300MBytes,
unmount it through context menu on the desktop and remove the pendrive
when the icon disappear from the desktop.

IMO turning off the LED on usb-storage device would involve patching the
kernel, so this bug should probably be reported upstream, not in
K/Ubuntu.
I use pretty stock Kubuntu system (just kernel is self-compiled) and
desktop icons for removable devices disappear _after_ umount finishes
(eg. i get
To clarify:
- This report is not directly about data loss, nor is it about the desktop
icons. The possibility of data loss is simply an additional motivation for the
report, and data loss is therefore best discussed elsewhere to keep the
discussion here on topic.

Is this a problem with the sole USB stick (ie do others work fine) or is
it a software issue?
Are there any issues with performance?
